Britische Teile, die in russischen Drohnen gefunden wurden, um die Ukraine zu bombardieren – Zelensky

Does it matter? Bad state actors will use anything to make it look bad on other people.
Classic finger pointing

Black market/Grey Market. Like how China orders a heck of a lot of parts for Russian built planes. Way more than they used to before sanctions were imposed on Russia. It’s a mystery why the increase.

No matter what you think about the correctness, morale or legality of these things, I still think that focusing on them at this level is deceptive.

In today’s globalized market the supply chain is **immensely** complex, especially when it comes to complex parts like electronics/chips (e.g. *“microcomputers for flight control“* according to Zelenskyy). There are droves of countries that are involved in any single part, be it as raw material suppliers, manufacturing tooling suppliers, designers, design sub contractors, manufacturing/assembly, software suppliers, loan givers and investors, and so on and so forth.

Add on top of that there are many ways to circumvent sanctions via „creative“ schemes and trade routes, and that most commercial actors are in it for the money, not the politics. Thus many prefer to supply both sides in a conflict, because it’s monier (e.g. China sells drones and parts to both Ukraine and Russia).

Thus, it is **incredibly** hard to block every „western“ involvement in products that are used against Ukraine. A certain effort yields measurable results, but pretty soon it becomes a fight for diminishing returns. And those efforts are better spent elsewhere.
